Listen To John Voyage from Maurice Blackburn Lawyers on motorcycle & scooter safety and VicRoads/TAC/Police.
And,
Grant Delahoy from the Victorian Motorcycle Coucil.
Now, go see your MP
www.parliament.vic.gov.au/members
To the sitting members of Victorian Parliament.
I agree with Mr Codognotto's points and also warn that nobody in the motorcycle community
wants these foolhardy proposals to be made law. (Why aren't cycle riders being targeted by this?)
As Damien points out there is an election coming and the Coalition is a minority government.

The Independent Riders Group strongly opposes conspicuity laws.
There is no evidence to suggest these laws work.
The 2012 Parliamentary Inquiry (PIMS) did not recommend
COMPULSORY conspicuity for good reason.
The "whole of government response" to the 64 PIMS recommendations is
not credible because it was mostly written by VicRoads/TAC/police.
The compulsory conspicuity and protective clothing agenda was
released by VicRoads/TAC/police in 2010, well before the PIMS research
and study of motorcycle & scooter safety in Victoria. In our opinion
VicRoads/TAC/police had no intention of taking the PIMS
recommendations seriously and see our elected representatives as
surplus to their requirements.
326,000Victorians are licenced to ride motorcycles & scooters. They
vote. There is an election in 2014.
